Gainmore Mind Advantage will allow you to take your “A Game” to the course, call now to see how it can help you play to your true potential, when you need to under pressure on the golf course!! This course has also been approved by the PGA.
You've been seeking a programme that will make a real and significant improvement in your game - well done! You've found it!
Marathon Man!!
Yes believe it or not I'm running the London Marathon again! So anyone who spots an oversize runner on the streets, try not to knock me over, you might damage your car!
It's 6 years since I ran my last marathon, so although older, I'm just as enthusiastic as ever, training hard and intent on beating my previous best time of 3.57!
I am raising money for two charities this year, Frances Austen Memorial Trust (a local children’s charity close to my home in Kent) and Leukaemia Research. I have sponsor forms at the golf club and a Just Giving website for the Leukaemia charity, so supporting these great charities could not be easier!
Please dig deep my friends and thanks for taking the time to read this news update and supporting this worthy causes.
Explanar Teaching System
I have recently invested in what has to be the world’s best training system “Explanar”. If you have never had a go on Explanar, then please get in touch ASAP and if you have, you will already be on your way up here!! It’s a truly fantastic way of feeling the correct movement in the golf swing, as the guys at Explanar say “turning swing thoughts into swing feelings”. Lessons are now available with “Explanar” and I am also offering use of the Explanar during your practice sessions, by joining a unique membership scheme, please give me a call for more information.
Any of you guys or girls who might tend to hit the odd controlled fade to the right or even a slice!! Then Explanar is a great way to feel the correct shape to the swing, get the wrists working efficiently and stop that slice in a heart beat, so please call now and book your Explanar lesson!! Explanar, the cure to the common slice!!

With so much going on here at the Academy and indeed the
golf centre in general, I thought a newsletter keeping you
updated on our progress would be appreciated.
I am pleased to announce that the refurbishment work here
at the golf centre has now been completed and the driving
range is fully operational. If you have not been at the
centre during the work period, then I can guarantee you
are in for quite a shock when you visit us. The range is
now slightly longer than before and has been completely
levelled out, with new target greens, mats, power tees,
range balls, bay dividers and netting all the way round
the range. It will obviously be a little on the brown side
for a few weeks, but that’s just cosmetics, the layout
is just fab! Quite simply the best range in Surrey, don’t
take my word for it come and visit for yourself!!

take my word for it come and visit for yourself!!
Both car parks have been levelled and new tarmac laid,
a complete refurb through the clubhouse, including new toilets,
kitchens, conservatory, patio area and conference rooms.
Although the two new greens on the course are ot open, they
will be magnificent when they are!
A massive thank you must go to all my loyal clients who
have continued to support the academy during this
re-development period, the diary has remained fully booked
and for that I truly thank you.
I have recently invested in what has to be the world’s
best training system “Explanar”.
If you have never had a go on Explanar, then please get
in touch ASAP and if you have, you will already be on your
way up here!! It’s a truly fantastic way of feeling
the correct movement in the golf swing, as the guys at Explanar
say “turning swing thoughts into feelings”.
Lessons are now available with “Explanar” and
I am also offering use of the Explanar during your practice
sessions, by joining a unique membership scheme, please
give me a call for more information.
With regard to lesson fees, the new half-hour
rate will be £23, with the fully inclusive hour lesson
being £48, which includes a CD of your swing analysis
to take away with you. Discount for paying in advance for
6 lessons will now be 10%, £124 for the 6 half-hour
lessons. Tandem lessons will be £174 per couple. Most
professionals using the “V1” computer/video
teaching system and Explanar are charging for each element.
So it would be X pounds for the lesson, plus £5 if
you want to use Explanar and £5 for the “V1”
teaching system!! I want to keep it as simple as possible,
not a shopping list of prices! At the end of the day the
reason why I invested heavily into all this teaching equipment
is to help you guys in the best way I know how, so it will
be at your disposal at no extra cost, all-inclusive in the
lesson fee!!
Gainmore Mind Advantage – For those of you who have

Chi Power Golf – Together with Jayne
Storey ( www.chipowersport.com ) we are also running new
and very exciting Chi Power Golf seminars. We run these

I am thrilled to announce the start of two new and very exciting projects here at MJGA.
Both of which start in June and believe me when I say, they will transform your golf game and the
way you think about this great game!! I have always believed the coach of the future will be able to help not only with the swing mechanics but the mental side of the game as well.
Well look no further the time has come "to take you're "A" game from the range to the 1st tee".
If you require any further information regarding either of the seminars below, please do not hesitate to
call me now on 020 8391 9038. We look forward to welcoming you at the seminars in the near future.
